I always play Hardball but it seems like the american cable providers are a lot easier to get to give in.
My dad has Dish Network and doesnt have HDTV... he saw my Hi Def the other day and wants it .. I called up and they gave me the song and dance. My dad has 6 receivers and 3 dishes. ( the regular house and the lake house) He also pays close to 175 for every Standard Def channel, 175 bc he has to pay for two different houses. They wanted to charge me 300 for two dual tuner Hi DEF DVRS, 10/month for each of the other 4 receivers , charge us to install 2 new Hi Def dishes and then 30 bucks for high def tuning.
I just said Wow all that stuff is free if i sign up direct tv except its 20 bucks for the tuning instead of 30$ , I would also get one free hi def dvr and have to pay for one DVR if I wanted two but I only need 1.
That is all I had to say , nothing about canceling, just that general statement and this was the service reps response. Well Mr Nickerjones, You have been a loyal customer for 6 years , never had a late payment , I think we can work with you. Here is a deal We will come install the dishes for free , no charge for receivers, 1 free Hi def Dvr , 200 for the 2nd dvr, and 10 bucks a month for the expanded Hi def....
I then said I dunno 200 for that receiver is a lil high
Well All in all i got the package mentioned above and the 2nd Hi Def receiver for 100 bucks ....
